Houseplants can be a great addition to your home, adding colour and bringing a little of the outdoors into an abode. Aside from being aesthetically pleasing, they are said to come with myriad benefits too, from improving air quality to alleviating stress. Bonus.
But choosing the right one can be a minefield. Thankfully, M&S has everything you need to add some botanicals to a space, whether that’s an elegant colour-pop orchid, a statement making monstera or a pretty peace lily. Plus, M&S are offering FREE delivery across the whole range. Here’s everything you need to know about the high street store’s new range, plus our favourites from the collection…
Great Greenery
Whether you’re looking to add to your collection of lockdown botanicals or simply need to breathe a little life into a space, M&S has a bounty of great houseplant options.
For those less than green fingered, something like a peace lily is pretty foolproof – simply check the soil isn’t too dry every three days. And for a small space like a desk or nook of a bookcase, the sweet little Peperomia Globe will offer a stylish touch and some texture.
We love lush green leaves styled against your usual home accessories – coffee table books, candles and ornaments – to bring a little nature into the space.

Foolproof Options If You’re Not Great With Plants
Had plants in the past and forgot to water them? Us too. Thankfully M&S have the perfect bundles for those who want minimum effort, maximum impact plants and succulents to dot around your home.
Most of these plants- like Cathalea and Monstera- only require little watering and bright but not direct sunlight. They’re a great choice for anyone trying to add that little extra greenery, without too much hassle.
Here’s some of our fool-proof favourites…
Dried Posies
And for something a little different, check out M&S’s on-trend dried floral options. Perfect as presents – they’re the gifts that keep on giving offering pretty blooms all year round – there’s the classic dried flower posy; a hand-tied section of delphinium, acroclinium and haver. Or the Instagram-friendly wall hanging and wreath making kit.

Pretty Florals
If you’re after something prettier and more traditional, check out M&S’s range of floral houseplants. From pale marzipan-like orchids that will add a minimalist feel to a room or a pop of colour, to delicate rose-topped plants that will add softness (and a sweet smell) to the kitchen. Plus, with M&S’s excellent delivery options – free nominated day, next day and even Sunday deliveries – these make perfect gifts.

Outdoor Plants
Whether you have a doorstep that’s in need of some character, a sprawling garden or a modest balcony, M&S’s selection of outdoor plants is hard to beat.
We love a duo of olive trees placed either side of the front door, while the unusual Cordyline in a tin planter makes a lovely housewarming or dinner party gift – beats another bottle of wine.
